The Velium Focus

[Hollywood]

Hello,

Regarding the part where you speak with Phenocryst, the below bolded section does not trigger:

http://wiki.project1999.com/The_Velium_Focus

You hail Phenocryst.

Phenocryst speaks with a soundless voice, as if you are hearing your own thoughts. 'We sense you are attempting communication with us but do not understand what it is you are trying to convey. We are eager to know more. Perhaps there is one who knows the language of the stone and will speak with us'

Then you give him the Velium Focus.

Phenocryst speaks to you from within your mind, 'You know the stone! This is wonderful! The fullfillment of the prophecy is now one step closer. The most ancient of the stone tells us that one not of stone will come forth and act as our harbringer of asscention. We believe you to be our harbringer. Please help us!'

You reply, "how can I help you?"

Phenocryst speaks from within your mind as well as conveys a sense of joy empathically. 'It is said that the harbringer will find all of our people and unite them. When we join we will know all of our experiences and perhaps then be aware of how to proceed with the next step in our asscention. We implore you to find others like us and make them aware of us. You know the language of the stone and can tell them. We await your return with proof that you have spoken to them." Now you have to go to Crystal Caverns. If you invis up and head down into the caverns, you'll pass through an orc area, then a dwarf area, then a tentacle terror and spiders area, and finally there's a long stretch of tunnel leading up to a zone out point. That long stretch of tunnel is filled with geonids and they con the same as the ones in Wakening Land. Give one of them the focus (any one, doesn't matter, you don't have to hail them or anything) and you'll get it back with the following message:


After asking him how we may help, he doesn't respond. I had others try this as well and all he does is turn to face you and nothing more.

HURRAY! Another!

So I petitioned this. EXACTLY this. It happened to me last night.

I got the second focus from him and said 'how can I help you' and he didn't respond. So, like an idiot I handed him the focus again and he ate it.

You can proceed with the quest if you have the focus from him. Go to CC, hand it to a geonid, BUT STOP THERE!

Because when you hand it back to Pheno after CC, he will say what's in the WIKI, but when you say "I will find the stones", he will just look at you and not respond and not give you the next focus.

Be advised.

You must have amiable faction when you tell him you will help search for the gems. i had to do the quest 4 times before i fixed my faction. this quest WORKS.

[dafier]

Faction has nothing to do with it. More than a few people I know did it on the first time through (indifferent faction). When you complete it, you become Amiable.

[bktroost]

I completed this quest last night. Ignore the text. Give him the focus, go to CC and give a geonid the focus then give Phenocryst the focus again. You get the item back and then have to go collect the three metals.

Everything is spawning now EXCEPT that the bag spawn for "The Reddish Crystal" is NOT spawning in The Hole.

Nor does it spawn in the entrance of Split Paw. It spawns on the left island deeper in splitpaw before you go down the water tunnel to Ishva. It's on the backside of that island.


Once you collect them turn in the identify crystal you got with the three metals to phenocryst and you get an item that looks like an aquamarine gem. Stash that and have your ranger go tag the three giants that were just spawned. It takes 2 minutes before the Accolyte of Zeks spawn. Tag them right away and bring them to your camp. THEY SUMMON. Be warned.

About a minute after the Zeks were spawned Bloodpriest spawns. Tag him and kite him until you have killed the two Accolyte of Zeks.

Loot all three pieces of the medallion and turn them in with the aquamarine thing you got from Phenocryst and you get the Focus. Gratz on your new secondary. Now go camp Cara Omica because if you are camping the Focus then you probably don't have your epic.

Also, on floor 2 of that zone you can get a teacher's syllabus and studen'ts homework from the Angry Librarian. After that you are good to go and fully equipped.

Bk, I got it finally. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well I got that part of the quest done. I screwed up on my quest....anyway. Thank you for the update on Splitpaw as well. Just to be clear.

I found the stone in Paw on the #5 spot isle on the map.

The issue in the original post above happened to me today. And I made the exact same mistake, handed the focus back again and the named geonid ate it. I've petitioned in game, perhaps I can get my mistake undone. So whatever you do, don't hand it back to him if he doesn't respond to "How can I help" or you might be in the same predicament...

You need to use the petition/exploit forum, if you are wanting reimbursement.
